Now there is a custom idea that may be worth trying as I don't think I have ever seen a reverse GP layout pipe setup on either bike.. :)
That sounds like a wonderful idea running the pipes up the left side. The rear wheel on a SS arm would be in full view then. Cool.

Guess it's okay to post this by now.

RZVsteve is the man who modified the SS swingarm on that RZ500 (and other SSS for RGs, etc.)

He's the one that talked me out of the idea. He has very strong opinions on certain things, and I tend to take his advice.

Sounds interesting. Wheel comes off on the right side on an elf arm?
